Suzuki "Too Busy" for Canada's Most Endangered Ecosystem
written by Press Release
 
David Suzuki Too Busy for the CDF, Canada's Most Endangered Ecosystem
by Salmon are Sacred
Shamefully, David Suzuki is not too busy to have a five-year 'dialogue' with Marine Harvest (http://www.farmedanddangerous.org/solutions/industry-reform/) – which effectively endorses disease-ridden salmon farming in the Broughton Archipelago and shows contempt for objections from First Nations.

Nor is David too busy to promote 'sustainable' salmon farming standards via the 'Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue' in more meetings with Marine Harvest, the BC Salmon Farmers Association and Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance (http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/oceans/science/sustainable-fisheries-and-aquaculture/what-is-aquaculture/index.php).

Yet David was too busy to join the Get Out Migration walk down Vancouver Island last year with Alexandra Morton (even though we visited his home turf on Quadra Island) – or join the rally in Victoria.  And David was too busy to support the Paddle for Wild Salmon. 

And I guess David is once again too busy to support 'Mayday for Wild Salmon' (www.salmonaresacred.org) – which once again features a visit to Quadra Island (25th April) and a 'crime scene' at Norwegian-owned salmon farms in the Wild Salmon Narrows around Quadra Island (http://www.salmonaresacred.org/calendar).
 

Shame on you David Suzuki.  Your words - "I don't believe any movement should depend on one or two people to make the difference" – contrast with Margaret Mead's famous quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does".

Ingmar – Alexandra Morton will be speaking also on Saltspring Island on 8th May along with Rafe Mair and Damien Gillis (http://www.salmonaresacred.org/calendar). 

Please join us walking from Sidney to Victoria on May Day (1st May) – you can be sure that David Suzuki will be too busy to join us but thousands of other wild salmon people will be there: http://www.salmonaresacred.org/blog/mayday
